Design Strategy & Opportunity Identification

• Contribute to the development of UX approaches for digital guest flows and features.
• Advocate for guest needs, surfacing friction points and recommending experience improvements.
• Identify opportunities for iterative enhancements based on research, analytics, and qualitative feedback.

Testing & Optimization

• Partner with the Insights Manager to support hypothesis development around guest behavior and flow performance.
• Contribute to the planning and execution of usability tests, A/B tests, multivariate tests, and concept evaluations.
• Build prototypes, design variants, and other assets needed for experimentation.
• Translate test results and research findings into actionable design recommendations.

Insights Partnership & Data Collaboration

• Work closely with Insights Managers to ensure qualitative and quantitative data inform design decisions.
• Participate in research synthesis sessions to help distill findings into UX opportunities.
• Use analytics, behavioral insights, session replay, VOC, and test results to validate assumptions and prioritize improvements.
• Support a measurement-focused approach where designs link to expected outcomes.

Cross

- Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Brand, IT, and Mar Tech partners to ensure designs are feasible, aligned, and well-implemented.
• Work with Digital Guest Experience Managers to translate journey goals into user-centered, measurable flows.
• Communicate design decisions and rationale clearly to stakeholders, supporting alignment and clarity.

Professional Development & Continuous Improvement

• Stay current on UI/UX best practices, behavior science principles, accessibility standards, and design tools.
• Introduce new methods or frameworks that enhance team efficiency or design quality.
• Promote a culture of learning, experimentation, and guest-centric thinking within the design process.

What We're Looking For:

Required:

• 3-5+ years experience in UX/UI design, product design, or interaction design.
• Demonstrated experience with usability testing, A/B testing, or insights-driven optimization work.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with research, data, or insights teams.
• Proficiency with modern design tools (Figma preferred).
• Strong understanding of responsive design, interaction patterns, and design systems.
• Clear communication skills with the ability to explain design decisions to cross-functional partners.
• Experience working within digital product environments alongside Product, Engineering, Data, and Marketing teams.

Preferred:

• Experience contributing to experimentation programs or iterative design cycles.
